The mine manager of the Island Block Extended Gold Company (Limited) wired yesterday :—" Bottomed at 25ft; face looking well, opening out; expect to have a good wash up some time next week; had heavy rain ; plenty of water." The mine manager of the Amalgamated Waipori Deep Lead Gold Mining Company (Limited) reports for the week ending Februaiy 6 as follows:- I bottomed the pothole mentioned in my last on Wednesday and washed up on TlrarswX'£w th y-l'cJuIHtadvised hy telegram, viz, *toz2dwt. Finding the water running short, on «nm? y fi S rep<!i red /° r dry weather and got the pump fixed and put into working order, and on Saturday J. put in new nozzle and liner ready for future operations I obtained 2oz 4dwt gold from cavities about old nozzle and liner. The dam although not quite finished, stood the flood well! the stonework, as yet unsupported to its full height by the puddle backing, being apparently uninjured As a large body of water is still (Monday, 3 p.m.) discharging over the stonework, I cannot at present tell what injury (if any) may have been done to the backing."
